Quantitative genetic variation and developmental clocks.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Aug 1991

Holliday R

Abstract excerpt

It is well-known that most genetic variation affects quantitative traits, and natural or artificial selection can act to change quantitative features of organisms more rapidly than qualitative ones. Surprisingly, variability is not confined to outbred species, but also occurs in inbred mice at a...
